The Truth Behind 9/11
The Truth Behind 9/11

September 11, 2001 is a time in U.S. history that everyone will remember, it holds a special place in almost every American’s heart, as well as the families in other countries who lost a loved one that day. Several groups of people within our own country and abroad believe that knowledge of this attack was held prior to the actual event. The U.S. government made the citizens believe that two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, and one airplane into the Pentagon. Different conspiracy theories have developed on the internet, and several websites claim to have legitimate cases regarding the validity of the “true” story. The true story, however, is one of pain and suffering that the citizens of America were put through.
Since the day of the attack, rumors have circulated through blogs, magazines, websites, and simple word of mouth claiming that 9/11 was assisted by the U.S. Government. There are many in-depth investigations of the conspiracy theories surrounding the attacks of 9/11. In my first example I will talk about what made the towers collapse. It is quite obvious that planes did not make the Twin Towers collapse, bombs did. Many architects and scientists have concluded that a planes fuel cannot produce enough heat to melt the steel frame of the two buildings that collapsed. No steel structure before has ever collapsed due to fire. While some steel buildings have burned a long time from fire, none have fallen because steel melts at a much higher temperature than gasoline, other fuels or combustibles normally found in buildings can burn at. There is plenty of footage of the towers when they come down. In most of the videos the there is a light flash at the bottom of the towers right before they collapse. The light flash at the bottom is a bomb going off. This evidence indicates that the collapsing of the towers was due to controlled demolition. There has also been accounts of scientists claiming to of found

    When I read this article I thought this would be a good resource cause if nothing happened to the center core, which was the majority of the tower, then it would still be standing even with a ball of flames burning on the outside. So if the fire from the plane couldn’t take it down then how did it collapse? Explosives, because they found in the foundation, which was 70 feet deep, there were 47 huge box columns, connected to the bedrock; the steel walls of these structures were 4 inches thick. Those walls were found as molten steel 5 weeks later and the fire from the jet fuel cant burn hot enough to melt it, but what can is a chemical found in demolition explosives called Thermite.…

    As we all know, on September 11, 2001 Muslim terrorists attacked the United Stated. They hijacked 4 airplanes in mid-flight. The first 2 planes flew right into 2 skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. Obviously, the buildings caught fire and collapsed. The third plane demolished part of the Pentagon (the US military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The final plane crashed in Shanks Ville, Pennsylvania.

    9/11 - the Conspiracy

    • 15 Pages

    The day of September 11th, 2001 the world witnessed with disbelief as the World Trade Center in New York City came crashing down. The shock the attacks generated and the some 3,000 or more people it killed made it one of the brutal attacks in history. One may only wonder how such a grand scaled attack could be carried through. Although controversial, evidence suggests that the September 11th attacks in 2001 were an inside job and the statements of the Bush administration following them were a fabricated truth that many people believed. Unfortunately the tragic event has scarred the lives of many people globally and changed the course of the near future.[1]…

    9/11 Conspiracy Theories

    • 986 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The theory differs from person to person, but this is the most popular one. The government set up explosives in one of the towers and that’s what caused the fall of the towers. Whether planes were involved is a matter not agreed on. Truthers say that the evidence for this view is that the tower couldn’t have fallen so quickly. They also say that there are explosive “squibs” that can be seen going off in the buildings. Research has been done on this theory by professionals, engineers and others, who oppose this belief and have looked at this issue, and have gathered evidence against it. The conflicting group says the reason the building fell down at its speed is because of a process known as pancaking, or professionally called progressive collapse. The studies of the people led them to believe that there was an initial localized failure around the impact zone of the plane and that was likely what led to the progressive collapse. Further studies by a person known as Doctor Seffen have led the person to believe that their calculations of the building would take around nine seconds for the buildings to fall down. At the University of Cambridge, they say it was “a fair assumption in terms of how the building fell.” How the building fell and how fast was not the only thing they looked at. The group looked at the evidence of…

    911 Conspiracy Theory

    Whenever the first airplane hit the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th, 2001 the entire nation was moved. Then when two more planes came crashing into the other tower and the Pentagon, the nation was devastated. It was the most fatal terrorist attack ever committed against the United Stated killing nearly 3,000 people. September 11th quickly became the biggest national tragedy since the JFK assassination. Days after the attack the theories began. Several groups of people within our own country and from other places in the world believe that there was prior knowledge of this attack. What many people believe was that two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, and one airplane into the Pentagon. Some believe that the attacks were planned and executed by the US government. Other groups hold the idea that people knew about the attack but failed to do anything about it. Both assume that the main reason for the United States to go to war was for the amounts of wealth to be made. The middle-east holds roughly 20%-25% of the world’s known oil supply, and if a country were to take control of such reserves, then that country would have immense power and wealth. Therefore, attacking our own country and placing blame on a terrorist organization located in one of the most oil rich countries in the world was almost a perfect plan.…

    What if everything one was supposed to believe was wrong? What if the people who are supposed to protect citizens from danger, do not? What if 9/11, the most tragic day in American history, was caused by the people we are supposed to respect and we are supposed and to believe, our government? Could our government have masterminded this horrific crime? Actually, I believe they did. In August 1997, on the front cover of FEMA’s, The Federal Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Response to Terrorism Manual it shows the World Trade Center towers in the cross hairs, sights used for aiming a gun or missile for accuracy, and then again in June 2000, the Department of Justice released a world terrorism handbook featuring the twin towers also in the cross hairs on the front cover (Loose Change 2nd Edition). I believe that the government has had this planned or contemplated this action since August of 1997.…

    The event that happened in September 11, 2001 will forever be emblazoned in the minds of the USA nation. The terrorist attacks on that day robbed the people’s peace of mind and had millions living in terror. Even though, we caught the group of terrorist that was involved in the attacks, there has always been a mystery over what really happened in September 9, 2011. Countless websites have popped up over the years to discuss the conspiracy theories of the 9/11 attacks. I have analyzed two of these websites that discuss these theories. 9/11 Truth is an organization that is committed to promoting public education regarding the suppressed realities of September 11th. Their website address is ww.911truth.org. Architects and engineers for 9/11 truth are a non-partisan association of architects, engineers and affiliates dedicated to exposing the falsehoods and to revealing truths about the “collapses” of the 3 World Trade Center high-rises on September 11, 2001.
